apple reports profits. you think the anguish about running out of money maybe? that's not the case. apple still the most valuable company in the united states. it might say growth is slowing. one hint a tea leaf this morning is verizon. the company said it activated 6 million iphones in the past quarter. a good sign that iphones are selling well. but half of those, even less than half were actually iphone 5 as. most were iphone 4s. apple makes more money on the 5. it's interesting to see people start to realize all of the iphones are pretty darn good and they are settling for the four apparently. >> getting a better deal now, too. >> that's why they go for it. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> we have a deal for you if you like snow. >> we know you have been known to head up to tahoe. >> i love it. >> put the skis on. >> you will enjoy what's coming up. we're going to get an exclusive report from squaw valley.

hasn't rained for a while. that can be a problem with oil accumulating. 11:00 a.m. showers come through the bay area getting wet. 3:00 p.m. showers lighten up. you can count on this slower than usual drive home as we continue the spottying a tift until 10:00 p.m. clearing by tomorrow morning. highs requiring a jacket. really not bad. a little bit above average. 58 in fremont. 59 in redwood city. a few showers friday, saturday and sunday. you think you can get outdoors monday into tuesday. the storm systems that keep rolling through, we have jet stream to the south. not expecting more than two systems here. just count on a wet pattern monday and tuesday as well. >> looking over here the lights were turned on earlier than i

thought. there is the backup to tend of the parking lot. that built over the last six minutes. slowing coming off the oakland crossing as well. let me show you the maps. we have a slow ride up the incline on the maps. unfortunately we don't have maps for you. we'll tell you. we have slowing here coming up from downtown oakland. oakland itself, 880 past the colosseum moves smoothly. downtown up to 980, there is an issue. we'll see the northbound side is flowing over side street. you see just north of downtown as we approach 980. there is a disabled vehicle just past the interchange. slowing over the past few minutes. the volume of traffic headeded past fremont southbound side with the headlights. that's where the commute kicks

no now south of dakota to mission. the northbound side good steady volume. no slowing fremont to hayward. a look at the south bay now. we see san jose with the slow down north 101. north of 680 a traditional spot, the burst, the second one coming up. we'll see the slow down sticking around. 85 will show slow down as well. no big surprises. road crew south 85 to cupertino. the off and on ramps, maybe 7:00 this morning. there could be crews there. 8:00 p.m. to 7:00 tomorrow morning. there has to be slowing for the road crews before they can do oh the improvement. we end with this and send it back to you. >> watch for the cone zone. >> 6:22. coming up, a star player talking

it from seats in the stadium. basically a laser would project from both sides of the field. >> a laser. >> laser. the laser company says the league is intrigued but not completely sold on the idea just yet. >> the america's cup will be bringing sailing and music to san francisco. we are now learning sting will perform along the shoreline june 2 at a soon to be built outdoor ampitheatre there. america's cup organizers building the temporary venue between piers 27 and 29. the new venue will host a series of concerts all summer long. sting kicking it off there. >> good talent. 6:26 now. still ahead, is time up for apple ceo tim cook? we'll tell you why apple is expecting lackluster earnings despite record-setting revenues. the impact it could have on the

itself. blumberg speculated apple may make more profit this quarter than last. wall street doesn't like down arrows. we have anecdotal evidence about trouble at apple including last week sharp said it would make fewer screens for the big apple ipad. the concerns may not show up today. you slow down if future sales will slow. >> very interesting there. what does it mean for tim cook? is she still the right man for the job? >> absolutely. he's had challenges. apple maps is a good example. the stock is down 20% from highs. nobody on planet earth knows how to run apple better than tim cook. he's steve's hand-picked successor before becoming ceo he ran the factory system.

executive wayne la pierre taking offense to the president's remarks and accused him of trying to redefine the rights of gun owner. >> mr. president, you might think calling us abolutists is a clever way of name calling without using names. but if that's absolutist then we are as absolutist as our founding fathers and the framers of our united states constitution and we are proud of it. >> several strict new gun control measures including back ground checks for all gun sales including sales at gun shows and a ban of all assault weapons and ammunition clips. >> 6:36. still ahead, caught in the cross fire. chaos on a college campus. the fight to send bullets flying and students ducking for cover. >> plus, charlie brown in handcuffs?
